I woke up convinced the best thing for me to do was to call in sick. I didn’t have the energy to get out of the bed. I’ve been on a straight emotional rollercoaster for the past several months and it has drained my energy something cray. This weekend was hard. Yesterday’s replay of the weekend was a hard pill to swallow. To add injury to insult today is Valentine’s Day. *rolling my eyes* I couldn’t care less about this day one way or the other. But my disinterest to the overly celebrated day, coupled with my agonizing spirit turned my indifference into pure annoyance for all things red, white, pink and heart-shaped. I don’t wanna be that person but that’s just how life happened upon me today.
So back to waking up. Had to be at work at 9am. 7am alarm went off…I immediately hit the snooze button. Noticed I had a text message that read “Happy Valentines Day.” I thought, “ugh.” And then flashbacks of all things going wrong in my life. I stayed in the bed until 836. When I finally left the house, running my usual 15min behind schedule, I went to start my car but it wouldn’t start. The battery was dead. FUCK!!! So I proceeded to walk. 45min later after careful consideration I was convinced that I was going to write a post today eagerly telling all the people in the world who were geeked up about the day to go and f%#k themselves (*shrugs* I can’t help my thoughts y’all). It was a joke that made me giggle but I was kinda pretty serious about it. BUT THEN…
What-do-ya-know!!! People showed me love. Mad love! I couldn’t believe the gifts that I got from students, friends, strangers, and the man of my life, my Grandpa. Boxes of chocolates, candy, a balloon, a book, cards, flowers, and a ton of shot outs via txt msg (those were a bit annoying but what the hey), all waiting for me at work or people coming by to drop them off. Wow! Don’t get me wrong…the hype around the day is still hella stupid, but my dear friends are not. They helped me to be appreciative on this day of all the things that are right in my life. Thanks for the reminder #i<3mycommunity
Peace
